These methods have helped so many of my riders gain confidence, especially in Rhythm Jumps.

Hi JW, 

Thanks for asking. It all begins with your hands. If your hands are positioned correctly your arms and shoulders will follow. When you’re practicing stay aware of your hands instead of your elbows. If you do this enough it will reprogram the old default. Keep me posted with your progress!

Good to hear that Sam. As you had explained in your first message. When you were doing big jumps in a taller gear, at low RPMs, your body positions were most likely too far back. Of course, this would cause you to jump with the front high. I'm glad you were able to find the problem and fix it with the videos that I suggested.

The most important part of a jump is the initiation of going into the air. When that critical part is executed correctly it's easy to find your center of balance in the air. This is when you can relax and breath deeply. 

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
